I and You

I am human;
I,
Stepping quickly into the best possible light,
Juggle my sins to my offhand before I shake yours.
I,
Gathering my favorite judges around us,
Smile humbly as they wind me up.
I,
Bidding them be silent with ears like desert gulches awash in flattery,
Cast down my eyes as my shoulders rise.
I,
With a maid’s blush on my sleeve, and a pirate’s grin on my heart,
Always get the best lawyers.
I
Always did,
Until the dawning of the stranger’s moon:
You,
With symphonic joyful darkness,
Burned me with truthful silence.
You,
Unmoving so that mountains seem to fidget,
Moved down upon me in a cloud.
You
Let others tell me, in shaded earthen words,
Of water which clay pots will never hold.
You,
Smiling like a friend,
Broke out upon my dizzy eyes with singing.
You,
Not caring that I shrank and wept,
Swept me into the Best Impossible Light.
You,
Although human too,
Are also
You.
